Access priveleges on wd my book

Recently updated to leopard on an old mac tower. G5.
now I can not read or access files on the WD My Book external hard drive on time machine.
Any clues how to fix this?

Hi, My Books don't have a great reputation, especially for PPC Macs, & then 10.5.x & up doesn't work with some chipsets in externals that worked fine in 10.4.x
Does the Drive show up in Disk Utility?
Does it show on the Desktop & can you do a get info on it to see the Rights?

Hello FranBNYC
It sounds like a permissions issue with your library, check out the article below to check and make sure that things are set correctly.

"The iPod...cannot be synced. You do not have access priveleges for this...

I'm trying to play the songs in my 80GB iPod through my computer at work. However, every time a new song comes on, a prompt screen pops up that says, "the ipod...can not be synced. You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation." I have all settings on manual. If it's because I have authorized too many computers, how to I reset that function without resetting the whole thing? This thing is driving me nuts!

I suspect this might be either a security software issue or a folder permissions issue.
What security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware) do you have on the PC at work? Is it set to scan attached storage drives?
What operating system does the work PC use? XP, Vista or 7? Does your user account on that PC have full administrative rights, or do you have less rights than that?

Access Priveleges Error Message - Cannot Trasnfer Songs to iPod Nano

I download songs and then try to transfer from iTunes to my Nano but nothing happens. I've tried both manually and automatic - neither work.
But when I did try to drag the tunes to the iPod icon I got the following error message:
"You do not have enough access priveleges for this action"
Any idea what this means and how do I fix it?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem, without the Invalid Service Version:
---2Gb nano
---Plug in, shows up in device list as a USB drive, even though neither the "manually manage Music" or "Enable Disk Use" is checked.
---139 songs in library, 0 songs on IPOD
---Click "Sync", 1-2 seconds later says updated, still no songs
---IPOD displays "Do Not Connect", if I rclick "Remove Hardware" on taskbar and select "Safely remove USB Drive", Ipod clears and is also removed from Itunes
My Daughter installed this. Smells like the wrong driver is in there, but I can't find an ".inf" file for the ipod. If I delete the USB driver and then plug in the IPOD, it dipays "New HArdware Found Ipod", but the n is says "USB Drive" and reverts to same behavior.
---7.01 Itunes, V1.3 nano software downloaded 10/30.
Any Ideas?

"You do not have sufficient access priveleges to rename the item"

Hi All,
I have a strange problem that has appeared over the last few weeks. I can no longer rename applications, and also have noticed that I am being asked for my admin password to allow for certain tasks that I was not prompted for previously.
For example, I had previously named the application "Cyberduck.app" to "FTP Cyberduck.app" with no problems. If I now attempt to rename the same application (or any other for that matter), I receive the message "You do not have sufficient access priveleges to rename the item".
I have tried several things to resolve this issue:
* "Disk Utility" > "Repair Disk Permissions" (from booted into the system, and also from the Mac Install CD). Either way, I see a list of permissions that have supposedly been repaired. However, I find that if I immediately run the repair again, the SAME folders and files are repaired (suggesting that they were not actually repaired first time round).
* "Password Reset" from the Mac install disk.
* "Repair account ACLs" from the Mac install disk.
All to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas for me (short of reinstalling?). I'd really like to get to the bottom of this issue incase it ever happens again.
Many thanks in advance,
AJ

Have you done anything significant to your Mac since around the problems started, such as restoring a user with Time Machine? Do a Finder "Get Info" on your Mac's Application folder and look at the "Sharing & Permissions" sections. Mine shows "system: Read & Write, admin: Read & Write, and everyone Read only". What do you see? Do the same thing to the Cyberduck application. What do you see for it?

I think that permissions repair is highly overrated as a system fixing tool. In any case, see this Apple document on type of permissions repair messages that can be ignored:

TS2167 i'm getting an error message.. can't create the file "header.jpg." The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have suuficient access priveleges.

I need to publish to a local folder on my desk top and I am getting this error message.
can’t create the file “header.jpg.” The disk may be damaged or full, or you may not have suuficient access priveleges.
Please help... I need to copy to a disk... it was working fine until I attached a big project, I tried to delete the project, but still not workng.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
3 - launch iWeb and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Cannot download (song name) because not enough access priveleges.

I am new to this forum desperate for answers to figure out what the error message means Cannot download (song name) because you do not have enough access priveleges. Please check that the network connection is active and try again.
I have been onto the itunes help people and they weren't particularly helpful, then my friend suggested to google the error message and a ton of messages came up including this forum. Someone had posted that you have to check that you have read and write priveleges for your music folder. It said in finder right click and then click get info and click something else and make sure its set except i dont know what "finder" is and whereever i rightclicked and got get info it was for a song title not for a folder.
I am using the latest version of itunes and windows XP. I am a reasonably new user to itunes. I have already turned off the firewall which was what the itunes help people suggested and it did nothing.
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

HI katrina
thankyou for replying i went to the folder and did as you said and unclicked "read only" then i clicked apply. I went back into itunes which is still throwing out the same error message on some songs but not all of them and tried to download the ones that had been rejected by the error message but unfortunately the error is still occuring.
Any other ideas? I have asked everyone i can think of about this.
I am wondering if it has something to do with this administrator stuff? I am currently a computer administrator on windows XP anyway but i read in the help section if you hold shift and right click then you can choose run as except i do not have a password for my account normally and there is the option of run as "administrator" but it wants a password which i do not have. My father in law made this computer and i have also asked him although he knows nothing about itunes as he has never used it i am sure it has something to do with windows not the itunes program i just dont know what.
I could always be wrong on that too! the other idea someone had was to uninstall and reinstall the program which is a bit of a pain and it may not solve the issue.
any more ideas on this greatly appreciated.

Try doing a click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks".

The iPhone won't sync anymore. How can I fix this?

This works even for my ipod on my computer. I recently time machined myself and when i open intunes it always does all that backgroud magic and pops up saying "....You do not have enough access priveleges for this operation."
It turns out i don't need that, because i do not use sync. I do not sync. I don't use the sync. I abstain from getting my sync on...etc.
The first solution posted above works, i'll repeat it but credit goes to King_Penguin a true friend from the motherland! Just find this one file and delete it.

When i try and sync it says i do not have the access priveleges to do so ?

If your computer is a Mac use the Disk Utility and "Repair Permissions". If it's Windows I don't have any idea how to fix it.

HT203433 I do not have access to my purchased audio books suddenly only my purchased music. Why?

I do not have access to my purchased audio books suddenly only my purchased music. Why?

That's not the issue iCloud was not a option and backing up previous purchased audio books was not a problem but now it is. One download or more like one year etc...? Otherwise its back to the dark ages. Perhaps but then why has support not responding if its this simple? iCloud now gives another money grab opportunity light. Oh I'm sure a notice was posted by iTune and now my purchases have lapsed. It's only money what I don't agree with is the terms changing wasting my time and not responding. I've asked the questions, done the requirements but iCloud is a mess for if not managed daily. They change terms and environments as they please. Hey it's in the fine Print buyer beware.

How do I reset access priveleges for iTunes?

I'm getting access priveleges denied when trying to copy files into
iTunes. I've run "Repair Permissions" from Disk Utility and some other
funky script through the terminal and neither worked.
If I do a clean install of Tiger, will this problem go away?

Make sure iTunes is not running. Click your iTunes folder once (in ~/users/your user name/Music)
Press command and i keys or click File > Get Info.
At the bottom of the Get Info panel you will see "Ownership & Permissions". Click the triangle to reveal further options, if it is not already showing.
Click on the lock. You may be asked for an administrator password at this point.
Change, or make sure the settings are:
You Can: Read & Write
You may have to click the triangle marked "Details" to see and modify the following options.
Owner: your user name
Access: Read & Write
Group: your user name
Access: Read only
Others: Read only
Click the "Apply to enclosed items" button. Click OK in the alert box to confirm.
This last action may take a moment to complete. Be patient.

Mybook/Rename Files/Insufficient Access Priveleges

Hi everyone,
I am trying to rename some of the full backup files from Time Machine on my Mybook (i.e. add to the specific date name on the files words such as "full iTunes Iphotos 102410".
When I try to rename it I receive an error stating "insufficient access priveleges" and I do not know how to work around this. Basically to open up space on my MB Pro's HD I need to delete some music, video, photos but by renaming certain phases of the backups I will know in the future where to go fetch them from.
Anyone know if this is a TM problem or Mybook problem?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

Unfortunately, Apple doesn't do a very good job of warning folks +*never to move, change, or delete anything in their backups,+* as that can corrupt them.

That's a very bad idea. See #20 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
If you're running out of space on your system, your best bet is to get a larger internal HD so there's room for everything.
Second best is, get another external HD for the "overflow;" move some stuff there and delete it from your internal HD, then be sure Time Machine is backing-up both your internal HD and the "overflow" drive.
Third best is, "archive" some stuff to CDs/DVDs or a portable external, and delete the originals. If you use CDs/DVDs, make a couple of copies of each, and store them in a dry place out of the sun. One copy in your safe deposit box would be good. Every couple of years, read them back in and make new copies, as they don't last too long, especially the --cheap-- inexpensive ones.

Not enough access priveleges to sync photos

Hi friends,
When synching my iPhone5s to my laptop computer I get the message (in step 5 of 6) that I do not have enough access priveleges for this operation.
Please give me any help with this that you can. I think there is something related to iPhone photo cache settings, but I cannot find where those settings are hidden. Thank you so much,
Keepflying

Hello there, gregg220.
The following Knowledge Base article provides steps for troubleshooting persmissions issues with iTunes:
Trouble adding music to iTunes library or importing audio CD
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1387
These messages occur if permissions are incorrect on your designated music folder or on a folder inside your designated music folder. Permissions are settings that determine who can read, write to, or execute a file or folder on your computer. Every file and folder on your hard disk has an associated set of permissions.
Example: If permissions are correct on your Music folder, but incorrect on the U2 folder inside your Music folder, you would be able to add other music to your iTunes library, but not that new U2 album.
Look here for help in correcting the permissions on folders:
OS X:
Troubleshooting permissions issues in OS X
Windows XP:
How to set, view, change, or remove file and folder permissions in Windows XP
Note: Permissions and privileges for files are different from authorization to play a song purchased from the iTunes Store. Click here for information on authorizing a purchased song to play.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
